Re: is longer really more expensive?

the more you want to sail, the less important the initial criteria will become. Just start cruising and refit what you need on the way.

Re: is longer really more expensive?

Had a look at Privilege catamarans several times at boat shows. The admiral did not like them - too old-fashioned she said. I am curious how they will evolve and bring up with the new owner.

Re: is longer really more expensive?

Unfortunately I will have to do it all by myself. But the Admiral will assist hopefully with mixing the next batch and cleaning after. So I think I will need up to 4 days of intensive painting, a day...

Re: is longer really more expensive?

I want to do some blue water cruising and can not / do not want to haul out the boat all the time for re-painting somewhere in the world. Also the copper coat is a hard raisin and a good osmosis...

Re: is longer really more expensive?

Re: is longer really more expensive?

Hey, man. Paint is expensive. No one would spill it on purpose over the beach.
I wonder if the paint is cured in such a short time between the tides - you have to clean the hull from the last tide,...

Re: is longer really more expensive?

There is the Helia (44) and the Saona (47) in between the 40 (Lucia) and the 50 (Saba),

Re: is longer really more expensive?

You can't compare mass-production cats with individual builds. Size matters on running costs related to it (check out the price lists of harbors, slips etc.).

Re: is longer really more expensive?

Almost everything is more expensive on a larger vessel. Very often it has to be stronger (Larger winches, windlass, anchor chain, anchor, rigging, sails...). Many fees depend on length and beam in...
